After seeing the Mongolian cavalry's riding and archery skills, Lu Wende couldn't help but secretly praise: "The Mongolians' riding and archery skills are indeed unparalleled in the world."
Lu Wenhuan asked: "Commander, I am using musketeers against Mongolian cavalry archers. I don't know what the outcome will be."
Lu Wende thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say. I don't know the background of the musketeers. However, the Mongolian trebuchet will definitely not be the enemy of my artifact. If I fire at several artifacts at the same time, the opponent's These twenty-odd trebuchets will be destroyed soon,"
Lu Wenhuan nodded and said: "Well, there is no doubt about this. His Majesty said that the production of artifacts and their ammunition is very complicated. If they are used at critical times, the Mongols will surely be surprised."
Lu Wende laughed and said: "It's not just a surprise. According to me, the Mongolians will definitely be frightened."
Lu Shikui, the general of the East Gate who was directing the battle on the city wall, saw the two men still chattering. He was afraid that the Mongolian arrows or gravel would hit the two commanders and injure the two commanders. He quickly stepped forward and said: "Commanders, you'd better go first." Go down, as long as the general is here,"
Lu Wende said: "It doesn't matter. I haven't seen an actual battle with the Mongols in many years. Today, I will see it carefully. Shi Kui, you go and command the battle. Your third uncle is here, everything will be fine."
Lu Shikui thought about it. With his third uncle Lu Wenxin here, these arrows, stones and the like were indeed unable to hurt his father and second uncle. He said "be careful" and returned to the front line.
Lu Wenhuan said: "Commander, I haven't seen you for a few years. The Mongolian trebuchets seem to have improved a lot,"
Lu Wende said "yes" and said: "Yes, it seems that the Mongols have put a lot of effort into trebuchets in order to attack the city, but the trebuchets will eventually be defeated by our artifact."
"Brothers, you keep talking about the magical weapon. How powerful is this magical weapon?" Lu Wenxin asked at the side.
“This,,,,,,,”
"Report," before Lu Wende could reply, a messenger from Lu Wenfu's department at the North Gate said, "A large number of Mongolian troops were found at the North Gate."
"Who is the leader?"
"Judging from the flag, it should be Mongolian Marshal Ashu,"
"A'shu," Lu Wende said, "it's true that he has arrived. No wonder Ashahan also launched an attack today. Shi Meng, please tell Shi Kui to be careful in your defense. Everyone, let's go and follow my commander to the north gate to take a look."
The number of Mongolian troops outside the north gate of Xiangyang City is about ten thousand, half of them are cavalry, lined up on both sides of the team. Unlike the east of the city, the north of the city is completely flat. A little further away is a large area of low hills.
From the top view, one of the generals, about forty years old, carrying a spear, was riding majestically on a silver-white war horse. The body of this war horse was about 1.6 to 7 meters tall, and its head was held high. Anyone can easily see that there are famous generals, famous guns, and famous horses.
A famous commander is matched with a famous gun, and a famous general is matched with a good horse.
"What a great general and what a war horse," Lu Wende praised.
Lu Wenxin introduced: "Commander, this person is the Mongolian Grand Marshal A Shu. The spear in his palm is Suluding, which is known as the Mongolian artifact. The war horse he rides on should be a good horse from the Western Regions called the Khan-blooded BMW."
The sweat horse comes from the Western Regions. The common coat colors are light gold, maroon, silver and black. It has a plump and graceful body shape, a thin head and a tall neck, slender limbs, thin skin and fine hair, a nimble and elegant pace, a slender and graceful body, and a beautiful neck. The horse is bent and high. After Zhang Qian returned from his mission to the Western Regions, he once said: "There are many good horses in the Western Regions, and the horses sweat blood." Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, this kind of good horses from the Western Regions have been mysteriously called "Breathed Horses".
In the Battle of Anyang Beach that day, A Shu's horse stumbled and was almost killed by Lu Wenxin. After returning, Kublai Khan specially gave A Shu one of his three royal horses, a sweaty horse. This war horse was named "Shen Yong". It was brought back from the Western Regions by Ali Hague four years ago and presented to Kublai Khan.
Surrounding A Shu were four generals: Ali Hague, Guo Kan, Ata Hai and Zhang Hongfan.
Just when Lu Wenxin recognized A Shu, A Shu also saw Lu Wenxin and a group of Xiangyang Army generals on the tower. As for Lu Wenxin, the Southern Dynasty general in the middle must be Lu Wende, the commander of the Xiangyang Army. The main generals of the Xiangyang Army have all done research, but Ah Shu has not seen Lu Wende with his own eyes. Since the only ones who can surpass Lu Wenxin, the top master of the Xiangyang Army, are the brothers Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan.
Ah Shu rode his horse forward and came to the city alone. He said to Lu Wen on the wall: "General Lu, I haven't seen you for several months. You are always doing well."
Lu Wenxin said loudly: "I am very good, but also very bad,"
Both of them were very energetic, and everyone present could hear them clearly.
Ashu reined up his horse and said, "What does General Lu mean?"
"Marshal Ashu, Lv is very good. What he said is that Lv is in good health. After the battle in Anyangtan, Lv often thought about Marshal's health and wondered if he had recovered."
"I don't have to worry about you, General. My health is completely fine."
"What Lu said is very bad is that our territory in the Song Dynasty has been invaded by you, and there are bandits in front of us. No matter who it is, it will feel very bad,"
Ah Shu smiled and said: "General Lu, you Han people have an old saying that the virtuous people live in the world. Now we, the Mongolian Great Khan, are wise and powerful, with both ability and political integrity. At present, our dynasty's territory is sixty-seven out of ten, and you Since the Song Dynasty was defeated by the Jin people a hundred years ago, it has been unable to recover. The government's policy is not correct, and the national power is declining. The so-called general trend of the world must be divided for a long time. We, the Great Khan, have obeyed the destiny and will reunify the world. General Lu, you are a talented person. You should be aware of the current affairs. Join us, under the leadership of the Great Khan, to rebuild a unified and harmonious country,"
Lu Wenxin was a martial artist, so he couldn't compare to A Shu, who was both civilized and military. He sneered and said: "Marshal A Shu, don't say any more about the principles of banditry. Let's see the real rules among my subordinates."
"Okay," Ah Shu said, "In the last battle, there was no difference between you and me. General Lu is an opponent that I respect very much. Before our army attacks, let us help the battle. "
Lu Wenxin held the Polu sword in his hand tightly and turned his gaze to Lu Wende beside him.
"Third brother, you are sure," Lu Wende knew that Lu Wenxin would fight Ashu sooner or later, but if the first battle failed, it would definitely affect the morale of the Xiangyang army.
"Don't worry, Commander, with the Polu sword, I will have the confidence to fight Ah Shu again,"
Lu Wende nodded: "In that case, I will personally lead the Black Carbon Group out of the city to cheer you up,"
"No, the commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief of our army. How can we leave the city easily? Ah Shu is not a villain. Since we agreed to fight one-on-one, it is better for the general to leave the city alone."
Lu Wenhuan said: "Commander, what Lao San said makes sense."
Lu Wende also made a detailed analysis of A Shu's general style: "Okay, Wen Fu, open the city gate."
Lu Wenxin carried the Polu knife in his hand, mounted his horse, and soon appeared outside Xiangyang City.
"General Lu, I didn't expect you to find a good weapon so quickly." Although Ah Shu didn't know the Polu knife, he could feel that this knife was not an ordinary thing. As a general on horseback, he was very familiar with weapons and horses. If you like something, you will praise it as soon as you meet it.
Lu Wenxin said proudly: "Marshal A'shu, listen carefully. This sword is called Polu, and it was given to His Majesty by me. Today, in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, let's see who is more powerful, your Suluding or mine." The polu sword is majestic,"
When Ah Shu heard that the sword was called "Polu", he was secretly unhappy and stopped talking. His face darkened, and Sulu pointed the tip of his spear upward and said, "General Lu, come on."
This is the second fight between the two.
The horses are intertwined, the swords are like tigers, and the spears are like dragons. The two are fighting together again.
It is very rare for masters like A Shu and Lu Wenxin to meet a worthy opponent. As a Mongolian general, A Shu has high martial arts skills and has few opponents in his country, even if there are a few such as Boyan. People can compete with each other, but they can't have fun. Only when they meet Lu Wenxin in the enemy camp can they let go and fight. A Shu is full of confidence in his martial arts, and with Sulu Ding in hand, he hopes to defeat Lu Wenxin as a reward. The beginning of the Song-Mongolia War.
In the past few months, Ah Shu has conducted detailed research on Lu Wenxin's sword skills. Although he has understood the opponent's sword skills and knows that the Lu family's sword skills are thick and simple, not as sophisticated as his Fengyun Thunderbolt Technique, he still cannot completely crack it. , Lu's sword skills seemed simple, and he could always block his own spear at key points. This skill greatly impressed Ah Shu.
For today's unexpected battle, both sides seemed to have done enough homework. Ah Shu waved his spear and took the lead in attacking. The Sulu Ding in his hand flew up and down like a smart dragon. He attacked several times in an instant and broke through. Lu Wenxin, who held the war sword in his hand, also showed no sign of weakness. The sword blocked left and right, crackling, blocking A Shu's successive attacks one after another.
Except for a few people on both sides who were watching the battle, most of them could only see the light of swords and shadows of guns.
Thirty rounds later, Lu Wenxin looked at his Polu knife and saw that the edge of the knife was intact. His confidence increased greatly. He suddenly increased his strength and pressed Sulu Ding down with two consecutive blows. At the same time, he shouted: "Take a certain three. Move," after saying this, Lu Wenxin changed his sword technique, switching from defense to offense, and used the unique skill of the Lu family's sword technique, "Lumberjack Three Kills".
The ancestor of the Lu family was a woodcutter in the mountains. After mastering his skills, he refined the sword skills he learned from chopping wood into seven killing moves, and named them the Woodcutter's Seven Killing Moves. These seven moves are all offensive moves. Three generations of the Lu family practiced drills, introduced new ones, and simplified them into three styles, which are today's Woodcutter's Three Kills. In the Battle of Anyangtan, Lu Wenxin's sword was restricted by A'shu's Sulu Ding, so he could only focus on defense.
At this time, seeing that the Polu sword was not damaged at all, he used his special skills. Driven by Lu Wenxin's internal force, the Polu sword buzzed and struck towards Ashu.
